Brazilian Air Force is promoting a constest, thru its web-site, to choose names for these aircrafts:
A-1 (program known as AMX);
A-29 (program known as Super Tucano or ALX), and;
R-99A/B (EMB-145AEW/RS).
For those who dont speak (read?!) Poruguese I’ll give the instructions to vote:
Get into Brazilian Air Force (FAB) website (http://www.fab.mil.br), then it will open a box where is written “Participe da escolha dos nomes das novas aeronavas da FAB”. Click on it, so you will see the site where you can choose the options you like most. Below you’ll have to enter your name (Nome) and e-mail. After all, click at “Enviar” (send).
I’ll translate the proposed names:
A-1:
Alfa-1
AMX
Falcão (Phalcon)
Guepardo (Geopard)
Pantera (Panther)
A-29:
Gladiador (Gladiator)
Milenium
Predador (Predator)
Super-Tucano
Tubarão (Shark)
R-99
Águia (Eagle)
Condor
Falcão (Phalcon)
Guardião (Guardian)
Vigilante (Vigilant)
And that’s it, guys.
